  Seems unlikely that they will be successful in shutting it down. If that were the case, they would have been shut down over the books already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First highway segment in U.S. wirelessly charges electric heavy-duty truck while driving⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a lot of energy will be lost when transmitting the energy wirelessly. How about we put up some wires that can deliver the energy more efficiently. After that, we can switch out the rubber tyres on asphalt for steel wheels on steel rails, such that we improve the energy efficiency further. This way, we can transport so much more stuff at a fraction of the cost.

  The management team can lead by example and forgo their salaries in that case.

  Quite literally yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dude's rock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Acutely relatable trait

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a video codec wins an Emmy | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you generally decode an asset several magnitudes more often than encoding it, and decoding basically must happen real-time, while encoding can most often happen ahead-of-time. Having encodes be a bit on the slower side if it gains you higher compression is arguably worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly enough, Norway was already doing quite alright before they discovered the oil - they were at 10th place amongst all European countries. The oil has given them additional wealth, but it has become somewhat of a national myth that the oil is the sole reason for Norway’s success, leading to their current reluctance to spin the industry down, despite it running fully counter to Norway’s self-image of a green nation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NeverKnowsBest made a video about it, which I think is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWuokRjedOA

  He also pins the blame squarely on Paradox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one else in the world matters but me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Speak for yourself, taking a train is way faster than driving for most mid-distance trips I ever take, and the money I save by not owning a car is absolutely massive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's important!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gigachad honestly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  dark pattern

  This is not what dark pattern means.

  Also, I don’t think enabling developer options is required to install arbitrary APKs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Northern lights⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear it’s literally always cloudy here when there’s northern lights. Terrible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this SF grocery store, you can't leave unless you buy something⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only remarkable thing about this coming from the perspective of Sweden would be if there is no ungated exit, for example at the manned checkout. Having one-way gates at the entrance has been standard practice for as long as I’ve been alive, and basically ever since self-checkout became a thing, they have been receipt-gated.

  You’ve always been able to exit by the manned checkout though as for obvious reasons you can’t imprison people who visit your store

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bä bä, vita lamm har du någon ull? ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Killing is pronounced with a soft K, so it sounds closer to “chilling”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It can also be good and expensive, but that expensive is really damn expensive in that case.

  I’d take a good train ride any day over it though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Depression: Part Deux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if you manage to get good discounts and have spare room, I guess go ahead.

  I’d rather not pay for mass amounts of storage for what is usually a comparatively small saving on bulk purchases

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thats all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just tie it around your waist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Depression: Part Deux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a privilege it is to live in walking distance to a supermarket - this problem doesn’t even exist for me, being out of something just means I walk 4 minutes and buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this might be an American problem, with straws being more necessary for drinking in cars, which are all too common there.

  I rarely drive and basically never drink out of a straw, there’s just no point when you can drink directly out of the cup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why create heat when you can just steal it from somewhere else, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insuranace is a joke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely. The business model for basically all of the insurance industry - denying as many claims as possible directly contributing to the margin of the company - is fundamentally broken. A real pity on account of how good and beautiful the core idea of insurance is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insuranace is a joke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your car got hit, then I’m guessing you’re dealing with the other drivers liability insurance, right?

  I can’t speak for how the legal system where you are works, but I would hold the other driver liable for every single cent, involving a lawyer if necessary.
